Which side of the plane to sit from Cox's Bazar Airport (Cox's Bazar) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the world's longest natural sea beach upon takeoff and the massive, winding river systems of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta during the flight.
Cox's Bazar Beach
A breathtaking aerial view of the 120km unbroken sandy coastline immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Bengal
The transition from the deep blue sea to the sediment-rich coastal waters of the delta.
Estuary Islands
View of the remote and silt-formed islands like Sandwip and Hatiya in the mouth of the Meghna.
Padma-Meghna Confluence
The massive meeting point of two of the world's largest rivers near Chandpur.
Delta Chars
Intricate patterns of river islands (chars) and emerald green paddy fields.
Book a window seat on the left for the morning flights to get the best lighting on the coastline. Look down immediately after departure to see the surf line clearly. During monsoon, this side offers dramatic views of the flooded delta plains.
Moheshkhali Hills
The unique hilly terrain of Moheshkhali Island rising from the coastal plains.
Matarbari Power Hub
Significant industrial and port developments visible near the coastline.
Chittagong Hill Tracts
Distant views of the undulating mountain ranges along the eastern border.
Mainamati Hills
The ancient archaeological landscape near Comilla visible during the mid-flight phase.
Dhaka Cityscape
The dense urban sprawl and landmarks of the capital city during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun glare. Keep an eye out for the hilly terrain early in the flight, which provides a stark contrast to the flat delta land seen later.
